hmm suggest something other than egyptian sunglasses to make you feel better? wrist watch might help but i think you just need to find some dank to help your eyes ---

Potatoes. Slice some potatoes, put into a wet paper towel, cover eyes, the starch will seep through and heal the burn. ---

Just waited it out, wore sunglasses all day/night. Did u get the thick shit in ur eyes yet. The stuff like “eye booger” stuff but, 10xs thicker? mmmmm ---

[/quote] X2, I found that of you blink less and don’t move your eye it hurts less, but it was very hard to do. I actually thought I had something in my eye all morning the first day, it wasn’t until later that night that I realized what had happened. The second day I had just got used to it and it didn’t bother me anymore but I definitely noticed it was there, and by day three I rarely even noticed. I’m pretty sure it was gone on day 4, but I my have just gotten that used to it by then. ---

i’ve got one forearm burning right now because of welding yesterday with a short sleeved shirt. It doesn’t take long. I exposed myself to a total of a little over a minute of weld time. So the people who stare at a weld for even a short period of time are border-line retarded. ---
